Holiday rentals with breakfast in Arcozelo

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

Excellent stay. A farm with a magnificent and very well-kept outdoor space. A host, Mr. Rui, who strives to make our stay as rewarding as possible. Sonia does everything to make us feel at home, preparing excellent and varied breakfasts. Alpha, who played with our Leia. Well-located farm to walk around Gerês and excellent to rest and recharge. A place to return to.

I loved my stay, home super equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Super friendly and attentive owners, our family loved it. I highly recommend it.

Nuno’s place exceeded our expectations. It has a beautiful balcony with a view over the Douro river. The pool area is peaceful and breakfast provided was an added bonus. Nuno was very helpful and provided us with great recommendations for wine tasting and spots to visit. The apartment is spacious, clean and has a small kitchen which we were able to use to cook in the evenings.

The place was well above what we initially thought. We were really blown by its beauty, layout, space, and cleanliness. It's a special place with all the vegetation almost all perfectly selected to give the environment an almost worldly peaceful feel. Slight reservations were the limited trash bags provided and lack of cleaning supplies and toilet paper, but all else was what was described or better. The host was accessible and easy to communicate with. He was friendly and approachable and just an overall nice guy. Overall our impression was that it was a perfect place for a group looking to get away, spend time together and have space to explore and return to calmness.

Fernando was always there for us, but also left us very private, the house was nice, bedrooms fine, and a very nice garden. In the morning, there were fresh bread rolls, and the house was well stocked. We felt very welcome and had a good week.

Elisa's apartment is pretty amazing. The location is perfect if you want somewhere that is vibrant with Porto culture as soon as you walk out of the door, but without being swamped with people. The interior is modern and extremely airy and well-laid out, and Elisa is an amazing communicator. We will undoubtedly be visiting again.

everything was impeccable

Wonderful host, great location, and outstanding, quiet accommodations.

We stayed with Rui and Olivia for two nights while in Porto. We had a blast in town and loved their place! Rui met us with the keys, arranged for discounted parking, a tour on the Douro, and spent some time going through a map with us, highligting some great places. The apt is brand new and very comfortable and very central. The place was stalked with fruits and delicious treats that Olivia made herself. We really appreciated the personal touch. Rui and Olivia have a couple of apartments in the building so they were around if we needed anything at all. We loved staying at their apt and would def recommend the apartments to anyone visiting Porto. They had some great restaurant and bar recommends as well!

Well located, spacious apartment. Close enough to walk into town, but a little outside the tourist frenzy. Marta was a gracious host, meeting us outside in the rain to help us park our rental car and show us around the apartment. She left a wonderful selection of food for our breakfasts, plus useful materials for us to plan our visit. We used four comfortable bedrooms and the common, comfortable living area. Would recommend this property to friends.

So happy we stumbled on this place! The hosts were so sweet and showed us the best spots. The location was amazing and it was perfect for 4 of us. I would love to be able to stay here again!

The location is great, about 15-20mins walk to various areas like the bolhao market and downtown but there is a metro station right around the corner too. Had rented a car, so the included parking spot was great. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Isabella is quick to reply back with any questions and follow up with you afterwards.

Joanna is a friendly and responsive host, we had a great time and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was great too as we could just walk anywhere ✨ Thanks!

Myself and my 2 kids stayed in the apartment for two weeks. The newly renovated apartment is very spacious for the size that it is, and immaculately presented upon arrival. The location is very central, which certainly has its benefits. Despite its proximity to all the entertainment, the apartment is tucked away and is very well insulated from the noise and light. Our visit was during the summer holiday, so it can get very busy. My only criticism is that parking directly outside was a challenge. However, this isn’t much of a problem if you don’t intend to drive around and if you don’t mind to walk a bit! A super practical and comfortable stay…. I’ll certainly be visiting again :) Lu

Good accommodation to visit Porto for a few days. Two bedrooms with double beds each. Two bathrooms with shower (one of them also has a bathtub and bidet). Good location, a few minutes from the cathedral by taxi and very quiet and quiet area to rest. The Liiving team was always attentive to the messages we sent them, and they always responded to us at the moment. I would repeat without hesitation if I go back to Oporto.

While visiting Portugal for a wedding, we enjoyed our stay very much. Very welcoming, impeccable cleanliness, very helpful host. We had a lovely stay.

We loved staying at Marta's. She was always there when you needed something or had a question and was always friendly. The room and the kitchen are actually really hard to order as described, but the pictures look a little different than in reality. You can also make some cornflakes or bread for breakfast in the kitchen, but of course you can have a better brunch in downtown Porto. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable and can't criticize anything about the apartment. Three successful days for us.

I have traveled to many cities, I have stayed in many hotels and inns; I have seen and felt that it is genuine attention but I have never bought attention as warm as that of Candida and Diago. I was amazed by the simple and beautiful decoration, and by how clean and tidy all the spaces were. I think Diago (the multifaceted manager) is a magician, he has a gift that God has given him and he has used that gift to serve the guests. If I ever go back to Espinho I will not hesitate to stay in this charming place. I loved every second I was here. Thank you for all the attention...

Our stay at Quinta Dos Carqueijais was a perfect 10/10! We chose the Villa das Oliveiras, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surroundings. It truly feels like you're immersed in the forest with beautiful views of the lake. The entire property is seamlessly integrated with nature, creating an idyllic setting for complete disconnection. The accommodation itself is stunning, perfectly equipped, and incredibly comfortable—far better than what you might expect from the photos. The breakfast is plentiful, with great attention to detail. Additionally, we had the chance to enjoy the spa facilities, which include a jacuzzi, sauna, massages, and a heated indoor pool, all at a very competitive rate. Quinta Dos Carqueijais is the perfect place to unwind for a weekend getaway or to celebrate a special occasion near the Peneda-Gerês National Park

A really lovely room just like the photos. The family were all very welcoming and helpful. They allowed us to check in early as the room was ready and looked after our bags on our last day .We had a fantastic meal one evening in their restaurant, not to be missed . The only down side was it’s a reasonable walk to the old town of Porto but if you don’t mind that it’s a lovely place to stay

Amazing 400 year old home, has always been in the family. The outside garden and pool are beautiful and peaceful. Small town near by with good quaint restaurants . About one hour from Douro Valley by a beautiful drive through back country roads. Highly recommend it

We really liked it, pity for time, the house is very cozy, furniture according to the style. Full and hourly breakfasts, value- perfect price. Very good host

I enjoyed the Watermark very much. Hosts Rui and Ricado were always accommodating. Gave me tips in the area. Furthermore, you were always available (for questions) via text. The place was clean and you could connect with other and do things together. The surf and skate lessons with Luís were particularly good. 🤙🏼☀️ It was very good that you only had to walk a few steps around the beach from the property with the surfboard. 🏄‍♂️ The week in Espinho was very worthwhile for me. Thank you for the great time. I'd love to come back. ✈️ Regards Luis
